PubliCola: More on controversial former McGinn staffer

Erica Barnett at PubliCola has a piece detailing the extensive role that former staffer Chris Bushnell had in Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn’s administration. Bushnell resigned last month over questions about his academic credentials.

…documents obtained by PubliCola through a public records request reveal that Bushnell had a city email address as far back as December 2009; received an email from a McGinn staffer “welcom[ing]” him “to the team” in late December; and was deeply involved in many of McGinn’s major official city decisions (both in planning and execution), including McGinn’s controversial announcement that he would eliminate 200 strategic adviser and senior management positions.
